Event system coming - Page 5

One possibility for an arena would be to have the one way windows like houses seem to have. Sort of like a hockey arena with oneway windows. Event viewers could see participants, but participants would only see dark windows. Hopefully eliminating some graphics loading lag for particpants.

Maybe events could be broadcast on a viewing screen like in hadershine(sp) where some advertisments are. People could gather round the screen and watch form hadershine without effecting the event with any lag whatsoever.

The voting booths could be used to advertise upcomming events as well as for voting. But only show events that are 10 days out or something.

I really dont know what would be possible, this is just me thinking at keyboard.

Thanks

Well it it’s not to be a party boomer

or anything, it’s just that for the users to be able to actually create events, there would have to be a more flexible basis for doing so.
First of all, let’s say that one wanted to host a fashion show, but then again with the prices we know, who will be able to afford even that?
I think a more serious and custom based system in ways of interactive features within PE, would prove really use-full in terms of creating a “future” based system for events, and the like.
The like meaning, that the users would be able to not the least use a system like this for creating event’s, but also for setting up missions etc…

Ps: No details… But things could in given time look really cool

Hi Marco

One thing I think would be very much appreciated is an Arena, a place to host events secure from grievers and party crashers...

Multi functional: shows, presentations, events, fights, art exibits and so on

A global system to announce them and a way to easy arrange the entree fees.

But I fear the rent of suchha place, events arranged by avatars should imo not cost any money and be free to use.
This because it will add to the whole virtual experience of PE as a social thing.

Making it cost money will have a negative effect on that.

And maybe some prices? Like a boxing belt, a tiara etc for the winners...

One more thing please dont kill the whole thing with restrictions and rulez, the system should be flexible to use, not rigid

ok time for my crazy newspaper idea again. newspapers are craftable from some cheap skins and we use noobs as paperboys. we can make drawings and text to begin with and papers can have a set amount of time before it vanishes so servers dont get filled with crappy newspapers.. or save them in your client and not on the server. all papers could have a few standard looks until you click on them, this to save server load.
these papers can be used as treasuremaps, newspapers(!), conspiracy magazines, advertisement and propaganda. this would need a simple text editor to be made ingame and alot of work to make it work, but I think it got great potensial!
mining magazine written of the best miners out there could be worth quite alot. same with other things and secrets. we could make ingame decay charts,notes for different things. names to remember, statistics.
damn why am I posting this here.. MA should PAY me for this suggestion!

Marco i have some Questions about the Event System.

Will this become a Free Feature or a Feature we have to Pay for in some Way ?

I could Imagine a Event Tool or Place where you can Spawn Mobs and "Enrich" the Loot of them with own Monney or Items who get Dropped by 100% from one of the Mobs. But lets say Paying Genreally for Every Spawned Mob wouldn't that Interessting to use. A Way to make Broadcasts for Events would also Interessting. Also the Idea to "Controll" A mob by Playing him isnt new but would interessting. If you want to Support Event like Partys it would be nice to Add Food , Drinks maybe Cigarrets and Animations when using them.

How about Kissing Animations ?

How about Instruments you can use who Playing a Sound you can Choose bevore. ?

How about Free Fireworks for all ?

How about Wedding Cloths ?

Yes i think Wedding Cloths would a become HIT and a lot of People would like to have them.

How about Googles with Zoom ?

How about NSC Pads where you can Input your own Dialoges for Quest Related Storys made by Players. ?

Wedding would be Awesome

I disagree. I beleive rental of these places should cost money. For several reasons.

It would keep the number of events under control.

It would increase the quality of the events if you have a financial commitment.

If PE is supposed to be a virtual world then it should cost to rent an arena. Just like RL.

It would open up a new avenue of profession. Event promoter.

Also, I really really think they should make awards, belts and trophies craftable from the goods already available to us. (Comp bps, Gems, Gold, Etc...)

DD

Do u honestly believe it will keep the number of events under control?
How many are there now?
Let me ask you this: If event hosting costs money, will it increase or decrease events in total?

It will increase the quality of events? I dont think so.
If it costs money the org will want its money returned, rather with a profit then without... do u see my point?

What will that mean to the events itself? They will become something to gain from and the whole social aspect will be gone!

The quality of events has to do with commitment to do them, not the money, money will ruin the whole thing.

If an org makes money out of an event, even if its 5% I dont think the motives behind it are very trustworthy
And in the end, who, I ask u, will profit from it? You or me? Or will it be MA?

I create events for the fun it brings and to bring ppl together, not to make money, if it is to cost money it will completly alter the purpose it serves.

BTW You cant compare RL with a VR, they are simular but very different...
If PE would cost money to play, do you think it would have an economy?

About crafteble throphy items... do u think they will be special if they are crafteble? I think they should be unique and one of a kind.

/regards

DD- I do not necessarily believe that charging for an event would help control quality. I think the true judge of a quality event is the number of ppl that go to the event and enjoy it. Furthermore, even if there was a charge (say 1 ped), any1 who wanted to go to the event to be a jerkoff is still going to pay the fee to be a jerkoff

Singular- let's not forget that the word "org" (organization) that you are using can reference a non-profit org. So say MA charges a fee to the organization to put on a party, and the org charges a small fee to every1 going... any profit it makes does not necessarily have to go back to the org (thus making them money-grubbers). It could, potentially, go into the event itself. Like, all profits will be used to hold a drawing at the end of the party for each person who attended... somehow perhaps a drawing could be done and the winner receives the profits

Ok, well that's just one idea. Perhaps the profits go to that trophy or banner or whatever.... this gives ppl a fun incentive to go to these events, while keeping them non-profit in the end...

Just an idea.... any1 can rip it apart.... I need more coffee so not thinking properly
